commencement at Franklin College.
FRANKLIN, June THE commencement
exercises are in full bloom. On Friday
evening occurred the Baldwin prize con-
test in defamation, in which the freshmen
engaged. 1t was a well-matched contest.
The honor was carried of by Miss Ona H.
On Saturday evening occurred the Olwin
prize oratorical contest in the Junior class,
in which six strove for the prize. This was
captured by Julia Johnson, of Greenwood,
who took for her subject Garrison" FL.
A. Cuppy took second place with the sub
ject, 1.-The Genesis of Indiyiduslism." J"
The decision OF the judges for the first
place was universally accepted, but for sec:
Ond place there was quite difference of
opinion. Miss Johnson has many elements
OF true orator, and If she desires to con-
test next year for the place of representa-
tive in the oratorical contest she is sure to
have it.
On Sunday at 1880 occurred the annual
missionary sermon by Rev. Mr.. Kirtley, OF
Terre Haute, who gave very COM
plete history of Baptist missionary
In ME6 the afternoon very rye appropriately came came;
the farewell exercises in respect to Miss
| Lenore Ayers, who soon leaves for Japan
! as a missionary. Miss Ayers is a member
| of the present sophomore class, and one of
| the brightest students in college. She goes
under the most favorable circumstances,
having as her associates L. ID. Carpenter
and wife, of Seymour. While both faculty
and students would have been glad to see
Miss Ayers remain and graduate, they are
most happy to be able to send one whose
work and life while here have been all that
could be wished.
At 7:30 occurred the baccalaureate SER
mon, by DR.. Stott, from the text, "These
works that do and greater works shall
you do, because go to my father" This,
| like all of the doctors sermons, was a
mastery effort. he discussed this
text along two lines OF thought, the per-
msnence and progressive in christianity.
| The truths of the Bible were as fixed as the
eternal rocks themselves, and no discovery
/ or invention had been made but what in
some way lent its aid to the spread of
christianity. The sermon thoroughly
bristled with pungent truth, and made us
all anxious for another year to soon roll
around so that we can have another feast.
